The wall

I'm stuck behind a wall
With myself I'm in a constant brawl
Beaten and battered I can barely crawl
Unfortunately i can't stand tall
Everytime I stand I fall
Everytime I risk it all
I'm still stuck behind this damn wall

This wall I can reach through
But Everytime I do
Same ol same ol happens, nothin new
It says "who are you?"
And throws me away like a horseshoe
I just can't through

I just need to get to the other side
Doesn't matter if I died
Or how many times I cried.
How many times I've lied
Or how many times i need to hide.
I need to get to the other side.

Not being there is killing me
I need to be set free
I need to find a key
Maybe if I'm lucky
Maybe just maybe
I get my chance to flee
But in the meantime, it's killing me.

I get to the wall and stand
Suddenly, a hand
Grabbing on to my arm band
Bringing me to an unfamiliar land
This not what I had planned

​​​​​​ I stumbled into this new place
Seemingly without a trace
There's a figure, looking at her face
All my emotions get displaced
And my sad thoughts erased
My mind's now floating in space
Happier than anyone in the human race

Im sitting on the ground awestruck
I must have used all my luck
Cuz any other outcome would suck

​​​ I admire her beauty and my heart melts
But then she knelt
And picked me up by my belt

I'm standing now, I looked into her eyes and grinned
The world around me had dimmed
And there was no more wind
I thought i had sinned

But suddenly she said "hehe"
That filled me with such glee
My mind had been set free
For the world to see
My smile may be crappy
But we must agree
Without my baby
I would still be, 
Behind the wall, searching for some imaginary key

Fast moving...lines and phrases help move the story along. I enjoyed the rhyme at each quick moving level. 

Favorite Line: 
I'm still stuck behind this damn wall

Powerful! I could feel the frustration in this sentence. 

Another great line: 

Behind the wall, searching for some imaginary key

When I read it at first, I thought of a person stuck behind the desk at work too many days in a row. Then, I read it again and discovered the wall may be something that the person put up, to keep from getting hurt by falling in love with another person.

I enjoyed reading your poem, thanks for sharing. 

Happy Holidays from Newark, Ohio
